You’ll be responsible for meeting and exceeding your quota by crafting and implementing strategic territory plans targeting deployments of the Palo Alto Networks Next Generation Security Platform.

Because selling is what gets you out of bed every morning. This is not just a career – it’s a meaningful challenge that impacts our lives in the digital age.

  • Stay updated on industry news and trends, and how they affect Palo Alto Networks products and services

  • Travel as necessary within your territory, and to company-wide meetings

  • Demonstrated ability to segment accounts across the territory and dig in using the entire ecosystem with a specific focus on partners and marketing (1 to many)

  • Have and able to lead all aspects of the sales cycle with the ability to uncover, qualifying, developing, and closing new, white-space territories and accounts

  • History of exceeding your quota

  • Possess a successful track record selling complex-solutions directly to mid-market customers

  • Excellent time management skills, and work with high levels of autonomy and self-direction
